Why Most Anti-Bernie Threads Are Truly Not

Bernie is not the one chanting “English only!” Bernie is not out there being misogynistic on the internet. The MSM is playing the stain-by-association game. Because, with Bernie, there are no shady dealings to explain away. He may not be perfect, but when he errs, he does so out in the open and on the side of humane.

To state the obvious: the Anti-Bernie threads are often Anti-Bernie Supporters. The rank & file of the movement provide far more tabloid fodder than does the man himself. Something about “low-hanging fruits".

So, next time you hear someone bash a Bernie Bro or a Bernie Babe…

They are likely doing so because cherry-picking Bernie's words to make him appear hateful is a lot more difficult.
